Here's a photo illustrating what Bill Sheppard mentioned a few days ago.
These are brand new Getty Oil gasoline tankers on TC-4 at L Hopatcong NJ in
late July, 1975 enroute to Croxton NJ (this type of trailer was rarely moved
as TOFC in regular revenue service). Circus-loading was mandatory, as there
was nothing for lift pads to grasp. Since the train is moving away from the
camera, and the ramps at CX were on the north (TT west) end of the circus
tracks, these cars have the correct orientation and will not need to be
wyed. I'm guessing they are in a block of cars received in interchange from
N&W at Bison yard in Buffalo. (photo courtesy of Paul T)
